I am vexed by the hatred-charged graffi titi which I can see on the walls of my city, and I am also vexed by my history teacher to whom I mustn’t disclose the true causes of my late September absence from school. And I was with You. You must be wondering now about my whereabouts in those days? I att ended the School of Democracy in 26-30 September period in the Novi Sad offi ce of the Helsinki Committ ee for Human Rights. My att endance was seemingly accidental, while in fact, once the lectures were fi nished, I realized that my mother had secrectly planned everything in advance, and in fact made me face a fait acompli situation. Now while writing down my thoughts I am very grateful to her. Several days prior to the start of the aforementioned lectures, I fell off the bycicle in downtown Novi Sad and broke my arm. My arm was put in plaster. During my sick leave my mother showed me the text relating to the Helsinki Committ ee School of Democracy and tried to explain to me how useful it would be for me to att end it. Then I was not very interesested in that school. Now I recall that I thought it might be quite dull, but my mother persuaded me to att end that school by the following words: “Stefan, last summer you were in Petnica. You 7 young authors selected essays (2) came back a new boy, full of enthusiasm and enchanted with the then lectures.

  • Music As a Weapon of Ethnopolitical Violence and Conflict: Processes of Ethnic Separation During and After the Break-Up of Yugoslavia1 Catherine Baker
    Music as a weapon of ethnopolitical violence and conflict: processes of ethnic separation during and after the break-up of Yugoslavia1 Catherine Baker Abstract: Using illustrations from the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s and their aftermath, this paper argues that understanding popular music and public discourses about it can help to understand the dynamics of ethnopolitical conflict. Studies of war and conflict have approached music as political communication, as an object of securitization, as a means of violence, and as a symbol of ethnic difference, while international law in the context of another case of collective violence, Rwanda, has even begun to question whether performing or broadcasting certain music could constitute incitement to genocide. Drawing on post- structuralist perspectives on the media and ethnicization in conflicts, this paper explores and interrogates the discourse of popular music as a weapon of war that was in use during and after the violent break-up of Yugoslavia. Music during the Yugoslav wars was used as a tool of humiliation and violence in prison camps, was used to provoke fear of the ethnic Other in line with a strategy of ethnic cleansing and was conceptualized as a morale asset for the troops of one’s own side. A discourse of music as a weapon of war was also in use and persisted after the war, when its referent was shifted to associate music-as-a-weapon not to the brave and defiant in-group so much as the aggressive Other. This was then turned against a wider range of signifiers than those who had directly supported the Other’s troops and had the effect of perpetuating ethnic separation and obstructing the re-formation of a (post- )Yugoslav cultural space.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis employs historical, literary and anthropological methods to show how narratives of identity have been expressed in Croatia since 1991 (when Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia) through popular music and through talking about popular music. Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).

  • Yugonostalgia As a Marketing Strategy
    EHESS PARIS Charles University in Prague Faculty of Arts Institute of World History COMMODIFICATION OF THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY: YUGONOSTALGIA AS A MARKETING STRATEGY Master Thesis Jovana Vukcevic Thesis supervisor in Paris: Marie-Claude Maurel, Ph.D. Thesis Supervisor: Michal Pullmann, Ph.D. Paris and Prague, 2014 Hereby I declare that I worked out this thesis independently, using only the listed resources and literature, and I did not present it to obtain another academic degree. ……………… ……………….. Jovana Vukcevic Prague, 16.05.2014 2 Abstract This study focuses on a specific type of contemporary nostalgia for the Yugoslav past, emerging in recent years across the post-Yugoslav space. Beginning with cross-border broadcast media cooperation (TV shows, reality shows, talk shows, national news media…), public expressions of what Dubravka Ugresic dubbed Yugonostalgia are now to be increasingly found in every-day life, popular culture and cyberspace. Growing idealization of the Yugoslav socialist past and the continued evocation of the visual artefacts and ideological values of the communist era in contemporary media have contributed to Yugonostalgia's popularization. This study focuses particularly on the commercial aspects of Yugonostalgia and argues that companies in the region are largely exploiting ‘nostalgic’ capital by stimulating positive emotions from the past. Nostalgia has been used to brand products as Yugoslav and to mobilize collective memories as leverage over consumers’ decision-making. Key terms: nostalgia, Yugonostalgia, commodification of nostalgia, collective memories, nostalgic advertising, Yugoslav brands. Apstrakt: Rad predstavlja sociološki osvrt na koncept Jugonostalgije, kulturološkog fenomena koji je posljednjih godina sveprisutan na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije. Analiziraju se ne samo različiti aspekti jugonostalgičnog narativa, već i proces komercijalizacije kolektivnih sjećanja u bivšoj Jugoslaviji.
